Youngone Group said on the 21st that it supported a global experience program that invites to Korea the college-age daughters of local employees working at business sites in Bangladesh and Vietnam, in cooperation with Sookmyung Women's University.
From the 19th to the 26th, the participating students will spend eight days and seven nights directly experiencing Korean culture and taking part in industry and university exchange programs.
This program is part of a development fund project that Youngone Group supported for Sookmyung Women's University. It was planned to provide families of local employees working in overseas production bases with access to education and culture.
In particular, it is designed so that female college students from developing countries, who have relatively fewer opportunities to travel abroad, can experience Korean culture on site and broaden their global perspective and outlook.
While staying in Sookmyung Women's University dormitories, they will join various cultural programs, including a taekwondo experience, K-pop dance classes, and a tour of Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, Gyeonggi. They will also visit Youngone headquarters for a session on the company and its businesses.
Sung Rae Eun, vice chair of Youngone Group, said, "We live in a time when global exchanges are part of daily life, but opportunities to go abroad are not open to everyone," adding, "We also thank Sookmyung Women's University for giving a meaningful opportunity to the children of the Youngone family."
